NATO Deputy Secretary General praises Romania’s long-standing security efforts in Afghanistan

Romania’s Defence Minister Nicolae Ciucă opened the exhibition. “These photos remind us of the very human faces behind NATO’s missions and operations:not only the brave and professional servicemen and women from Romania, other Allies and our partners, including some who have made the ultimate sacrifice; but also the Afghan communities they serve,”

Mr. Geoană said. “Romania has been a longstanding supporter of our efforts in Afghanistan. Today, it is one of the largest contributors to the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission, with some 800 service members on the ground; our Resolute Support Mission is a strong symbol of the continued global support to the government and the people of Afghanistan’ and these photos symbolise what this support means; they remind us that the sacrifice of brave service members, like Corporal Stoica, were not in vain; our Resolute Support Mission is making a difference, for the people and the future of Afghanistan and for our own security,” he highlighted.
